Oxford United<\/a> will look to continue their impressive unbeaten run when Doncaster Rovers<\/a> visit the Kassam Stadium this weekend. Karl Robinson’s<\/a> side have won three out of their last five League One games but face a Doncaster side level on points, despite playing two games fewer.<\/p>\n

Oxford United Looking to Continue Impressive Run Against Doncaster Rovers<\/h2>\n

How the Two Sides Fare<\/h3>\n

Doncaster started the season with consecutive 1-1 draws but followed it up with wins over Fleetwood Town, Lincoln City and Rotherham United.<\/p>\n

A goalless draw with Ipswich Town ensued afterwards before a defeat at home to Blackpool. Donny then secured a win over Peterborough United, before conceding a late equaliser at Coventry and defeat at home to Portsmouth.<\/p>\n

Oxford’s form has been on point in recent weeks and have turned the Kassam Stadium into a fortress with successive 3-0 league wins and a momentous 4-0 victory over West Ham United<\/a>, and the U’s will be looking to continue that run.<\/p>\n

That said, Robinson<\/a> felt his side deserved all three points following their recent draw at Accrington Stanley<\/a>, a game in which both Ben Woodburn<\/a> and Anthony Forde<\/a> picked up injuries.<\/p>\n

Team News, Who’s on Form and Predictions<\/h3>\n

It’s likely the U’s boss will keep a relatively similar starting 11, with Shandon Baptiste<\/a> the expected replacement for Woodburn. James Henry,<\/a> who is nominated for Player of the Month<\/a>, netted five goals in September.<\/p>\n

As for Darren Moore<\/a>, the defensive trio of Reece James, Tom Anderson and Brad Halliday have played all their games, providing Donny with the third-best defence in League One.<\/p>\n

Skipper Ben Whiteman has netted twice from midfield, while wingers James Coppinger and Kieran Sadlier both have three goals.<\/p>\n

Last season, the two sides played out 2-2 draws in both fixtures but the season before, Oxford won both encounters 1-0.<\/p>\n
